Ha ha! Yeah let your plant die the last two weeks while they supposed to be packing on wait. You can’t be a crap grower and expect 2-3-4 days to two weeks of a dark period to make your plant better. The only thing that’s happened is you didn’t burn off fragile terps with your bright ass hot grow lights. How’s that back to the topic. Have a good one. Hopefully you plant isn’t brown and crispy when you turn your lights back on. Sorry I interjected I will kick rocks.related to the original topic of dark period before harvest, i recently read research that drought stress during the last two weeks will increase the thc levels and some terpenes. He left the plant for 11 days without water, then watered lightly.
“Drought increased the concentration of major cannabinoids tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) by 12% and 13%, respectively, compared to the control. “
i have used this technique, and am currently ripening a grow with it. Thought it might add interest.
Here‘s the reference, its a phd thesis, it is great research with other pertinent topics included. The drought study description is chapter 5.
